America vs the World VI: Elongenics

[Brad]

This is exactly the sort of thing my dad used to campaign against via Transparency International. You expect it in third world countries. Bribes for winning bids, for getting stuff done, for not blocking stuff. You don't expect it from the president of THE first world country.

Massively disagree. I DID expect it from this tangerine ****.

The only thing that surprised me was how long he took to f**k everything up and start manipulating the markets, I thought it would be week 1.

If you have to take the test and then publicise to try and convince others of how well you did...

The White House, which has posted a video of President Trump’s portrait, says President Obama’s portrait was moved to a different location in the entrance hall. TBH I`m surprized the Obama one is still up.

Yeah, this really is a make or break moment.

Trump wants to do something, and the entire judicial apparatus has said he can't. Technically, anyone who goes along with it is guilty of high treason.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm, insurrection? That happened, with fully documented evidence, and nothing happened, plus most of them got pardoned?

The fascists won, they already have power and are deporting citizens right off the streets into Elsalvador super max prisons designed for ultra violent cartels & gangs.

The US either needs to drag him out the white house and behead him as a warning to anyone else, or shut up and eat your fascist dictator pie, because that’s what they voted for, and thats exactly what they got.

Anyway rant over.
